Obligatory Mobil 1 0w40 comment.

I take care of lots of subarus and use m1 0w40 in almost all of them. Had a good 13k uoa using it in my forester. Looking forward to your results

I've experienced this with a few subarus. And the opposite, I've experienced more consumption up front and then tapering off after 3,000 miles.

Because the old filter was torn apart after the new filter already put on. New filter will be short changed and different new filter will be put on.

I've experimented with different oil viscosity in the EJ and FB, I've found the FB a little more sluggish with thicker oil but not enough to write home about. I sleep much better at night with reduced oil consumption and an oil that maintains cleanliness a bit better. I take care of 30+ FB...

Can you provide proof of this? The owners manual technically allows for "5w40 conventional" top off, states that a thicker viscosity oil is required to properly lubricate engine during high load and high ambient situations, and someone posted here Japanese Subaru 0w30 Les Pleadies (name?) Oil...

Thank you everyone for the helpful feedback. I am less concerned of the engine having a mechanical problem and will likely switch out the current m1 212A for a wire backed titanium or endurance at some point this interval, even though this interval wont likely have cold outside temps and higher...

The owner has taken uoa which has brought him to 16k interval. I collected sample for him and he can decide with uoa what interval he wants to use next.

Media has some grit in the bottom of the pleats but I wouldn't say its excessive

Fortunately I can tell you I put that filter on 16,106 miles ago and took off a orange can Fram prior

That's why I'm wondering what I'm missing. Is the truck having a mechanical issue? It also produces that pressure range. Surely Mobil didnt build a filter that poor ...

M1 212A filter off a 19 Silverado 4.3 V6. Dudes truck has 83k miles and it was a 16,106mi interval. I see at least 4 media failures. Am I missing something? What causes this level of failure? Oil was m1 5w30 ep. I dont think he abuses his truck. Mild towing and daily commuting since November 22...

This filter caught me by surprise for sure. Will be opening up all of them to check as they come back future oil changes.

I wish I knew. The lady doesnt strike me as a full throttle driver but that fb20 does work hard 🤔

9,000 oci on a 2016 Subaru Impreza 5mt 2.0L FB20 with Mobil 1 0w40. Im no filter expert but it looks like pleat is separated/torn from glue at end on one side of the pleat. It moves easily and freely on the torn side only and is lower/sunken down compared to the rest of the pleats M1 0w40 and...

It almost never got short tripped. Its daily commute at the time was 90 miles highway per day, 200 miles highway on the weekends. I started using the Liqui moly flush LM2037 part number. I use it every few oil changes and m1 0w40, or HPL in every vehicle I service. For what it's worth my friends...

With all due respect Bill7 I followed a similar 3k ideology with synthetic with my 423,000 mile 2006 Outback from mile 0 to 378k and when I rebuilt the shortblock at 378k the oil control rings were gummed up. (As I already knew from mild oil consumption, having never ever been run low on oil or...

I had intake off for some maintenance during the previous oil change. I noticed silicon was higher after last uoa and assumed there were no issues with intake. Remembering in the back of my mind that silicon was up, not long ago I noticed the airbox wasnt flush and true even though latched...

In before I cant respond that there have been no clumps in any pan or engine I've torn down with mos2 use. I've seen it stick to preexisting varnish and deposits giving the impression that the varnish or deposit is all mos2, but not actually an only mos2 clump

Given the presence of fuel I'm impressed the viscosity is 30 weight. We'll see what the next oil interval does with all warmer weather driving. So far I've driven 5500 miles on a cross country trip. I am a little surprised by the fuel, I do keep short trips to a minimum when possible, and once...
